General Discussion

an illustrator so badly. But it only worked out a little bit. I was at Cooper Union '70 - '74: BFA Graphic Design, and Sculpture. Can't remember whether I went to Union SQ at that point. Later, yes, after the Green Market started up. Love it, though haven't gone in maybe ?8 years (including the the 4 yrs avoiding it bc Covid).

Also persued assemblage sculpture in the early '80s. I might have made a semi professional career out of it - had I stuck with it. But I diverted back into trying to pursuit an illustration career.

I used to go to the Society of Illustrators occasionally for exhibits highlighting either one person, or maybe a theme. But I always went to their Annual Show; Editorial & Advertising, and ?Institutional and ? _________ for decades. Even bought one or two books of their Annuals.

If I had the opportunity to do some illustration I might. I still draw. Hoping to get back into acrylic painting again. 👍

So... Art teacher? Or something else? Teaching well is a very honorable profession. I still remember great teachers.

I loved drawing fashion, too. I wouldn't have pursued dress design career. I had no interest in sewing! My mom graduated from a fashion school (not FIT), did dress design, and ?what they called ?"petit mans" for a while before she got married. Then my dad didn't want her working.

My sister and I up till Covid would go to The Met's Fashion Institute big exhibit in May! Loved it. Hopefully this May, maybe.

"Artists are a dime a dozen" - Idk, I find that rather a dismissive attitude. Why do you say that?
